FBI agent who found Hillary Clinton's emails on Anthony Weiner's laptop calls agency's handling of case 'immoral' and reveals how he fought for weeks to have them investigated
[MAIL] An FBI agent who found the messages that led to the Hillary Clinton email investigation being reopened days before the 2016 election said the way the bureau handled the case was 'not ethically or morally right'.

John Robertson feared he would be made a 'scapegoat' when he found the new emails less than two months before voting day, in the wake of DailyMail.com's revelation that Anthony Weiner, whose wife Huma Abedin was Clinton's top aide, was sexting an underage girl.

Robertson watched nervously as the bureau did nothing for a month until he went outside the chain of command and spoke with the US Attorney's office overseeing the case.

The only advice from his bosses was to erase his office computer, which meant leaving no record of his investigations, a new book says.

As Robertson put it: 'To this day don't understand what the hell went wrong', the Washington Post reported.

The claims add another layer of intrigue to the investigation of Clinton's emails which has become one of the most divisive episodes of the 2016 election.

#1 He sounds rather like that jackass who became petulant waiting for the Portland PD. That guy got what he probably voted for, this schmo actually worked for the bureau, did he never notice what went on internally?

#2 I'm just relieved that Sydney Leathers' 15 minutes were actually up in 15 minutes.

#3 Weiner surely made it easy but putting Hillary's stuff in a different folder than the kiddie stuff.
